Changelog
1.2 (2011-02-26)
Note: This release does not provide additional security compared to the 1.0 and 1.1 releases. It merely fixes an issue that prevented respecting placefully assigned roles in some cases. Therefore it is an optional upgrade unless you’ve experienced this issue.
Protect methods with PermissionRoles rather than hardcoded lists of roles, so that Zope will respect placeful assignments of roles to permissions. [davisagli]
Clarify the info that is printed on startup so that people don’t worry about the fact that their Zope versions wasn’t identified. [davisagli]
1.1 (2011-02-08)
Note: This release does not provide additional security compared to the 1.0 release. It merely fixes 2 installation issues. If 1.0 installed fine for you, you do not need to update.
Try 2 ways to delete the docstring as we had one report of the way we were using not working (thanks Andrew Mleczko for the report). [davisagli]
Fix issue with application to some recent revisions of Zope 2.10. Thanks to Ethan Jucovy for calling this to our attention. [davisagli]
1.0 (2011-02-08)
